Favors with Flavor
Hello to all! Gone are the days of giving your wedding guests “tchotchke/knick-knack” type favors such as bookmarks or matchbooks or sewing kits. All guests like favors with flavor. These type of favors will not go to waste or disappoint your guests. If you take it one step further and make the favor display or presentation have as much of the WOW factor as the rest of your decor, then you have hit a home run for the favor selection for your wedding. Of course we have to give you some inspiration to get you started in the right direction!

No commentsSign of the Times…..
Hello everyone…. Adding details to a wedding or event is what sets it apart and makes it special. A really special detail is signage. I came across a vendor who creates cottage vintage style signs – The Family Attic Shoppe. This family run business has been making these signs for decades. Each sign is unique. They can be used in your wedding to add that special touch and detailing that is an unexpected pleasure for your guests.
Detail #1: Welcome your guests with a beautiful sign.
Detail #2: If your wedding and reception is at the same venue, provide signage to show where each part of the wedding is being held. This style lends itself to beach weddings, Private home/tented weddings, country chic/farm/barn weddings, and weddings held at vineyards/wineries.
Detail #3: Have the Ring Bearer carry this sign before you walk down the aisle. How cute would it be to have him say the words “Here comes the Bride!!!”.
Detail #4: Take a photograph with the “Thank You” sign and use it as your thank you cards after the wedding.
Detail #5: Take a photograph with the “Just Married” sign to remember your big finale.
Until the Wedding Bells Ring….

No commentsBridesmaid Style…
Hello all. I hope that everyone is enjoying their weekend! In our blog entry entitled, ”Boutonniere with a Twist”, we discussed selecting a slightly different boutonniere for each of the Groomsmen to add a bit of uniqueness to your wedding. Now, let’s do the same for the Bridesmaids. There are many ways to set the Bridesmaids apart. One of my favorite options is to select the same dress for all of your Bridesmaids, but allow them to select a different accessory for their hair. In the picture below, each Bridesmaid has used her individual style to accent her look. Love it!!!…
